The blinders are down

I look out the window
but the blinders are down

mama mama why are the blinders down
mama mama why are the blinders down

the blinders are up my son
the notion is in sight

the mountains are high
but you are taller

the river is long
but you can go further

do not let the man deceive you
soar like the eagle my son

move on my son
this is the path that you shall take

yes mama I can fly
I can soar to these heights

but the wall is still there
mama the blinders are still down

no my son look harder
you will see the blinders are up

mama turned and then I saw
I saw the mirage concealed

a window stood behind mama
and the blinders were down

papa came in
look papa look

papa turned to look and I saw
A window he had too

Papa's blinders were down
Mama's blinders were down

terrified I turned as I
looked into the mirror

I had a window
and the blinders were down
